An Innovative Approach for Enhancing Bone Defect Healing Using PLGA Scaffolds Seeded with Extracorporeal-shock-wave-treated Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BMSCs).

ABSTRACT: Although great efforts are being made using growth factors and gene therapy, the repair of bone defects remains a major challenge in modern medicine that has resulted in an increased burden on both healthcare and the economy. Emerging tissue engineering techniques that use of combination of biodegradable poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) and mesenchymal stem cells have shed light on improving bone defect healing; however, additional growth factors are also required with these methods. Therefore, the development of novel and cost-effective approaches is of great importance. Our in vitro results demonstrated that ESW treatment (10?kV, 500 pulses) has a stimulatory effect on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMSCs). Histological and micro-CT results showed that PLGA scaffolds seeded with ESW-treated BMSCs produced more bone-like tissue with commitment to the osteogenic lineage when subcutaneously implanted in vivo, as compared to control group. Significantly greater bone formation with a faster mineral apposition rate inside the defect site was observed in the ESW group compared to control group. Biomechanical parameters, including ultimate load and stress at failure, improved over time and were superior to those of the control group. Taken together, this innovative approach shows significant potential in bone tissue regeneration.

Project description:Here we present a new model for alveolar jaw bone regeneration, which uses human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) combined with tyrosine-derived polycarbonate polymer scaffolds [E1001(1k)] containing beta-tricalcium phosphate (?-TCP) [E1001(1k)/?-TCP]. E1001(1k)/?-TCP scaffolds (5?mm diameter?×?1?mm thickness) were fabricated to fit a 5?mm rat mandibular ramus critical bone defect. Five experimental groups were examined in this study: (1) E1001(1k)/?-TCP scaffolds seeded with a high density of hDPCs, 5.0?×?10(5) hDPCs/scaffold (CH); (2) E1001(1k)/?-TCP scaffolds seeded with a lower density of hDPCs, 2.5?×?10(5) hDPCs/scaffold (CL); (3) acellular E1001(1k)/?-TCP scaffolds (SA); (4) acellular E1001(1k)/?-TCP scaffolds supplemented with 4??g recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP); and (5) empty defects (EDs). Replicate hDPC-seeded and acellular E1001(1k)/?-TCP scaffolds were cultured in vitro in osteogenic media for 1 week before implantation for 3 and 6 weeks. Live microcomputed tomography (?CT) imaging at 3 and 6 weeks postimplantation revealed robust bone regeneration in the BMP implant group. CH and CL groups exhibited similar uniformly distributed mineralized tissue coverage throughout the defects, but less than the BMP implants. In contrast, SA-treated defects exhibited sparse areas of mineralized tissue regeneration. The ED group exhibited slightly reduced defect size. Histological analyses revealed no indication of an immune response. In addition, robust expression of dentin and bone differentiation marker expression was observed in hDPC-seeded scaffolds, whereas, in contrast, BMP and SA implants exhibited only bone and not dentin differentiation marker expression. hDPCs were detected in 3-week but not in 6-week hDPC-seeded scaffold groups, indicating their survival for at least 3 weeks. Together, these results show that hDPC-seeded E1001(1k)/?-TCP scaffolds support the rapid regeneration of osteo-dentin-like mineralized jaw tissue, suggesting a promising new therapy for alveolar jaw bone repair and regeneration.
